micro soft as a company has grown so large, it needs an enormous amount of revenue to keep its doors open. thats 1 of the reasons why they are always introducing new os´s. to generate new revenue. roughly 40 % of the worlds computers are still running xp. a huge amount of people refuse to upgrade, even thou they are at risk of security issues. then win 7 was also a great os. i have win 7 installed & it runs circles around win 10 in all aspects. ms refuses to make a secure os that isnt vulnerable to viruses. why ?¿?¿ because ms gets a kick back or royalty for every anti virus program that gets sold. how pathetic is that ¿?¿ lets make rubbish so we can extort money from independent companies that fix the problems we make.
then there are the privacy issues of using any win product. ms just has to know & spy on its users, all in the name of advertising of course. then ms just has to update your system even when you tell it not to. its even come out that the end user agreement that you have to agree to, even states that ms is still the owner of what ever hardware you buy, running their os. meaning ms considers themselves the owner of the laptop or desk top you just spent your own money on.
